No, it sounds right, and it doesn't sound like she's a doormat so long as he holds up his end of the relationship as well. That part just isn't mentioned in the article.

Some women are like the woman in the article and are just one of the guys, but a lot aren't. If you're with a woman who laughs at dirty jokes at her expense just to make you happy even if she hates it, you can expect that bottled up resentment to explode at some point.

I was married to "one of the guys", she was very attractive, never wanted kids, laughed at bawdy jokes, drank with the guys, and let me do dirty, dirty things to her whenever I wanted. After about 9 years, a flood of pent up anger came out. She's now remarried and expecting her first baby, planning to do the housewife thing. Because she was a "cool" wife instead of an honest one.

It's more important to be yourself, and be with someone who appreciates you being yourself than to try to be something you're not and put on an act to make someone else happy. This goes for men and women.

I get laid once ever couple of weeks. I have to initiate and she just kind of goes along. I haven't had a blowjob in 6-7 years.

We've been married for 15 years and I am pretty much done. My wife can't even look at 3 of those 13 things and say she does them.

You weren't dominant enough. Women don't give a shit about you making jokes at her expense as long as you're the man in the relationship and know how to put her in her place when necessary. She "let" you do dirty things to her? No, she should have been asking you to do whatever makes you happy if you are the man. Her "letting" you means she tolerated it when instead she should have wanted to do anything you wanted. Big difference. Women won't see you as doing anything wrong if you're doing it right, i.e. they just accept you as being you and there isn't resentment (only adoration).

The kind of guys who think "all women are the same" are the ones who haven't been with very many women. Because women don't find them attractive.

If you have to guess what a woman is thinking or feeling instead of knowing, you could use some more experience points.

Is this sarcasm?

He's not necessarily wrong. But that's because most women are broken.

At this point in my life I'm ready for a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. The kind of woman a lot of guys would call "a bitch."
